Welcome to the blog. I offer these thoughts in this first entry as introductory, all future posts will reflect specifically on chapter and verse. May it please the Almighty to bless the reader and writer. Amen.
Every command from God, every revelation of His being, evokes an immediate response from me; whether joy, or fear or surrender or pride. God's word cuts right through to the essence of humankind, and lays bare that essence - it is an invitation to surrender. If a command is given or a condition revealed, my response is measurable.
Thinking about that response is a critical step, for repentance may be the fruit my soul is wanting to blossom. Any command or invitation by God is met with my will, and I either rejoice or not. Danger arises when I receive a command, know it is good, realize that I am not God centered, dislike my lack of God centeredness, and want to dismiss my dislike of my disobedience; for then I still seek self, knowing that it opposes God.
Prayer
Grace and mercy. You oh God bid me from your own dear heart to change, and experience proves this is so. Protect me from love of self and let me gladly bear the cross - for the joy of You! Amen.
